Ashley Sandusky and Larry Doebert missed out on most of the hoopla surrounding Monday’s solar eclipse, but they’re not complaining. Their daughter, Braelynn Rae Doebert, was born at Baxter Regional Medical Center on Monday at 12:36 p.m., 50 minutes into the eclipse.

“I really couldn’t do much other than look out the window,” Ashley Sandusky said Tuesday morning. “It looked like it was going to storm.”

During Monday’s partial eclipse, the moon traveled in front of the sun and blocked out 94 percent of the sunlight in Mountain Home. At the eclipse’s peak, 1:16 p.m. locally, the temperature dropped noticeably and the air took on a late afternoon-like haze.

“I thought it was going to get darker,” said Larry Doebert, who stepped outside the hospital for a few minutes Monday to witness the eclipse.

According to BRMC officials, the hospital had three patients in labor Monday when the eclipse started. A second baby was born about 15 minutes before the eclipse officially ended at 2:44 p.m.
